A different kind of New Years


Juergen left for his parents house this morning. He was going to go last week, but the car was having engine problems. It took a few days to get the car fixed and He needed to be here on Sunday night so it made no sense for him to go last week. He will be gone most of the week. I hope he has an encouraging visit with his parents. I'm also hoping to have the strength and love to be a good single mom to 5 kids. Jessica is sick. She has kept me up most of last night. Thomas is also sick. This isn't going to be my "best" New Years. I'm already so tired my hands feel numb. I imagine God has extraordinary things ahead. I always look back on the year and realize it turned out to be so different then anything I could have thought or imagined. Some times it's harder then I had thought. But so often it's much better. I'm going to have to have a real New Years party some time in January with Juergen. Tonight I think I'm not even going to make it until midnight.

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
